Mike Budenholzer could have been a great fit in Phoenix and exactly what the youth on the roster needed. However, it’s a no go. This is a business and this kind of stuff happens. The front office now has two choices. They can sit and sulk or they can keep moving and still make a solid hire. For all the same reasons fans were happy about Budenholzer, they should be happy at the thought of Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough bringing in Igor Kokoskov.
Even though he has no real NBA head coaching experience, his resume is more impressive than you’d think once you give it a good look.
